Katy Perry Breaks Silence on Split from Orlando Bloom

Katy Perry is speaking out for the first time about her split from Orlando Bloom and she’s slamming the idea that exes can’t be friends.

The 32-year-old singer and the 40-year-old actor announced their break-up earlier this week via a statement released by their reps. The statement said that the stars are “taking respectful, loving space at this time.”

Katy and Orlando dated for nearly a year after hitting it off at a Golden Globes after party in 2016.
